I think carbed samis all have a choke that operates by hot water flowing thru part of the carb.. wait did I read somewhere your rig has a webber carb ? glad you got the sami
lets see some pics (mabee in the other thread )

yes it does have a webber carb. any idea how to trouble shoot this issue? i'll put pics up tomorrow. i am being forced to watch american idol with my girlfriend because she went with me to pick up the sammi last night... im glad people are active on this site. it would be cool to get some more activity out of the samurai owners in michigan!
